So what does that leave Arrow?

The actress playing young Alex even had the facial expressions down. It was completely uncanny.

And what high school teacher asks that question? Isn’t Washington’s identity generally drilled into kids’ minds in primary school?

Amenadiel is not in this episode though, and I can tell you firsthand: According to my mother, that is absolutely unacceptable.

...and internet trolls.

but then I realized that this was Alice and her next proposal was probably that they should all be indentured to work in the salt mines.

It’s not great for your hair either. The constant pulling can cause hair loss, called traction alopecia, seen sometimes in dancers who are constantly wearing a “ballerina bun.”

In that it was a complete rip-off of The Outsiders.

I’m guessing a machine because the thunder and rain play such major roles visually, aurally and metaphorically. Which is not to say that the Vancouver skies couldn’t have cooperated!

The “rumble” scene was so beautifully shot and it pulled all the episode’s heightened pathos together. As far as the hood goes, I hadn’t even thought of Hal, but he would be so many perfectly Riverdale kinds of disturbing in the role. I wonder if the show is trying to point us in the right direction or the wrong one,…

I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say: I’m really excited for this to lead to another Lodge/Andrews family real estate plot.

Let’s hope!

Great episode review, as always. After last week, this was nice return to form, which played to the show’s strengths by effectively weaving the show’s mythology and character dilemmas into the COW.

It’s another episode with missing characters and without concrete excuses for said absences.

I know! The emotional anguish, moral flailing, comical seduction attempt—-all such a perfect, engrossing reintroduction to the actual Charlotte.

Yes! Thank you. I felt like that was an importance difference, which should give the gang’s time-scoobying some direction and identity.

Hey, I just appreciated the show confirming that Polly was indeed alive.

Lauren German and Tom Welling both play their respective characters with a kind of matter-of-fact flatness that must make it doubly hard to produce a semblance of chemistry. Stir in all the cringeworthy tell-not-show dialogue they’ve been given and you’ve got an unshippable pairing. I hope this script was just an…

You perfectly nailed the weakness of this episode, LaToya. The first scene at the reform camp was so painful I actually turned it off and went to do something else. Interpreting the case-of-the-week through the lens of his latest obsession is an intrinsic part of Lucifer’s schtick. But here his lines were so clunky…

I also wanted to say, after two episodes without Maze or Trixie, this really hit the spot for me. It wasn’t entirely perfect, but it was perfectly full of Maze and had about the right average amount of Trixie!
